Classical Ballet - classical ballet training is the technique basis for all dance styles and children will gain many benefits including: good posture, core strength, balance, flexibility, improved concentration & focus, attention to detail, musicality, creative expression and a sense of personal achievement. Children can move through the carefully structured levels and achieve their Class Awards and Exams each year giving them a sense of purpose and pride. We study the International Cecchetti Classical Ballet syllabus which has been carefully designed to carefully train young dancers with safety and thought to the child's development. BALLET LEVELS
